Hi, ALL
I run "vmstat 3 1000" in one of my sun solaris 2.6(for spar)
the pi,po in "pages" always show number in ths column(several hundreds)
and sometimes, "de" will show big number(usually several thousands, even dozen thousands)
and my SWAP used already to 65% of 2G SWAP


my Questions is :
1. what is means about number shows on "de" ??
2. Is my system out of memory? (add more memory needed?)
3. If No.2 is true,and without buy memory in this momen. anything I can do before I got my memory ??

thanks very much.
best regards,
Borg Liu

You're not running short of memory until your scan rate (sr) goes up, which means the page scanner is searching for memory pages to add to the free list.
